Adventurous ? hmmmmm

Walking this morning, admiring the lightening storm out over the lake I was thinking about a statement someone made recently where they thought I had an adventurous side.   I chuckled and thought,  well, it is probably a conservative adventurous side because when I think adventurous, I think extreme sports, mountain climbing rip lining, bungy jumping, things like that.   Participating in a 3day walk to raise awareness and money for breast cancer never occurred to me as being adventurous until this morning.

I took a new route that would take me alongside the lake so that I could observe the 'pretty' lightening out over the vast darkness.   
  
Light shows in the dark over Lake Erie at 4:48 a.m.

The winds were whirling and leaves, tulip tree buds were flying, I started to think.. hmmm...  this might be considered adventurous.  

I then walked past a strip in the road passing a dead skunk..  oh no,  that awful smell.. walk faster, hold your nose, walk faster..    Boy, God has a sense of humor.  Poor little fellow,   dead as a doornail and the smell..  well,  enough said.

Managed to get almost home as the storms that I admired an hour earlier, were now directly ahead of me on shore and coming off the lake toward me.   OK,  I'm going to get wet.  This is adventurous.. hmmmm..  Within 30 seconds,  the clouds opened up and those big rain drops fell, and fell and fell.   Great for the grass,  not so great for me.   Walk faster,  walk faster.     By the time I finished that last three quarters of a mile,  I was soaked to the bone.   I was glad I hadn't taken Samantha with me, or she would've been a wet doggy stinking up the house.  

So,  for the adventurous side of me...  all I can say is.. Perhaps  *Smile*

Have a great day all.

-Cheers.
